Saint Willibaldus

About this work

This print shows a robed figure holding a long staff and a book, standing in a landscape with trees and buildings. The person’s face is blurred, and they wear a tall hat with a cross on top. The background has lots of swirling clouds and small details like animals and people. The artist used a technique where the image is carved into wood, then inked and pressed onto paper—this is called woodcut. The style looks like it’s from the Renaissance, when artists started focusing more on human figures and realistic scenes. Next, check out technique: woodcut to see how this print was made.
